The cost gains are from standardized build templates with factory built components. Like I said, today's nuclear reactors are all bespoke builds.

- panick21_ 5y agoYes but as I pointed out, if you study mass production, the benefits of standardization and mass production are proportional to amount you produce. Going from producing 1 of something to 4 of something, the benefits are not actually that large. There is a far, far bigger effect going from PWR to a Molten Salt because that results in a factor 10 or more in difference in size of plant for the same output.
